You forgot Luke Jr! Or has he finally quit and decided to do an underwater basket-weaving course as a start to a new career?

That's... kind of the gag, there. That they all pretty much look alike?

Point one: The guy in the latest comics isn't necessarily "Luke". It's a reasonable guess, as hes' the only named dalmatian in the cast, but it's already been long established that there's more than one on the force.

Point two: It doesn't matter who he his. I didn't bother having his name mentioned in the strip because he's just a walk-on. He's one of the guys from the FD, that's all that matters.

Point three: None of them really had names until today's strip. The only other FD personnel who had been named were some random names shouted by Sarge as they were dismounting to attack the fire. We don't know who he was calling "Hicks" and Hudson" and all that, and there were a couple of cats and other dogs in the zombie series, but really, it was never my intent to have too many named emergency personnel.

And keep in mind I'm not about to try and keep track of identifiable spot patterns for these guys.

Other than maybe the one guy with the spot around his eye, I'm always gonna draw these guys with random spots. Don't try to tell me "It can't be that guy, he has too many spots on his ears" or some nonsense.

It takes long enough to draw the strip without having to map out individual spots, m'kay?
